I have a bunch of textboxes in a skin that need to be sized conditionally on the visibility of some other controls. I wanted to make an include to work this out rather than duplicating the conditional everywhere, so I thought to do something like:

Code:
<include name="PlotBox_Small">

        <height>68</height>

        <autoscroll time="4000" delay="12000" repeat="8000">Skin.HasSetting(AutoScroll)</autoscroll>

        <font>METF_PlotTextSmall</font>

</include>

<include name="PlotBox_Large">

        <height>135</height>

        <autoscroll time="4000" delay="16000" repeat="8000">Skin.HasSetting(AutoScroll)</autoscroll>

        <font>METF_PlotTextMedium</font>

</include>

<include name="PlotBox">

        <posx>300</posx>

        <posy>565</posy>

        <width>750</width>

        <textcolor>LowerText</textcolor>

        <include condition="Control.IsVisible(9902) | Control.IsVisible(9905) | Control.IsVisible(9906)">PlotBox_Small</include>

        <include condition="![Control.IsVisible(9902) | Control.IsVisible(9905) | Control.IsVisible(9906)]">PlotBox_Large</include>

</include>

Which of course doesn't work, as conditional includes are only evaluated at startup.

But.. is there a nice way to do what I'm after?

I would use

PHP Code:
<include name="Plots">
<textbox>
        <visible>Condition 1</visible>
        <height>68</height>
        <autoscroll time="4000" delay="12000" repeat="8000">Skin.HasSetting(AutoScroll)</autoscroll>
        <font>METF_PlotTextSmall</font>
</textbox>
<textbox 2>
        <visible>!Condition 1</visible>
        <height>135</height>
        <autoscroll time="4000" delay="16000" repeat="8000">Skin.HasSetting(AutoScroll)</autoscroll>
        <font>METF_PlotTextMedium</font>
</itextbox2>
</include>

Maybe I'm just over tired.. but then how would I set the <info> tag (the contents of the textbox) outside of the include? The text to be displayed is different in each case.

I would use (am using) $VARs for that.

Ahh.. that's why I was blocking on this. I keep forgetting we have variables in skins now. Thanks!
